Looking at the hesitant Hu Pingtao, the supervisor sneered secretly. He tapped the table with his knuckles: "I won't pursue the specifics of the matter. Just give me two thousand yuan and forget about it."

.”

This is a clear rip-off.

Soe Win is a scoundrel.

Usually scoundrels, hooligans, gangsters and the like like to be brave and aggressive, and they are all feared types.

If Soe Win had joined a gang, today's matter would be solved in another way - the supervisor would not help Hu Pingtao at all, but would directly throw him to Soe Win's gang, and it would be over.

The point is, Soe Win is just one person.

What's more important is that he is not a native of Lathar, but a southerner of Burma who comes to Latak to work and make money.

Hu Pingtao's "uncle" in Yangon was an old acquaintance with the supervisor, otherwise he would not have been able to connect and successfully send Hu Pingtao to the casino as a dealer.

As long as Soe Win is not dead, things will be easy to solve.

What's more, the main reason for yesterday's incident was Soe Win himself. If he hadn't been envious and jealous, and brought his helpers to block Hu Pingtao halfway at night, he wouldn't have been killed and beaten beyond recognition.

The casino is not a charity, and will not help you buy medical accident insurance. Moreover, Soe Win was injured like this and was delayed outside for a whole night. Even if he was sent to the hospital, it was hard to say whether he would survive.

Rather than staying in the casino and causing trouble, it is better to find a car now to transport the seriously injured and unconscious Soe Win to the outside of the city, find a secluded place and dump him, leaving him to fend for himself.

There are too many similar things that the military can't handle at all.

By the way, let’s take a big hit from Hu Pingtao.

…

Faced with the pressure of eating Guoguo, Hu Pingtao could only accept it honestly.

He returned to gaming table No. 21 with infinite anger and continued his work today.

Ruan Chengdong won a lot of money again. When he saw Hu Pingtao coming back, he smiled and threw two chips over while smoking.

"Young man, you always bring me good luck." Before Hu Pingtao could say the word "thank you", Ruan Chengdong smiled and said, "I see you are not very happy?"

Hu Pingtao held the chips in his hand and nodded hesitantly.

Ruan Chengdong's eyes showed the shrewdness of someone who has come before him. He tapped the table with his fingers and said with a smile: "Are you interested in making a bet with me?"

Hu Pingtao asked curiously: "What are you betting on?"

"From now until four o'clock this afternoon, if I can win 20,000 yuan on this table, I will give you a bonus of 5,000 yuan." His voice was full of temptation.

Hu Pingtao was so stimulated that he couldn't help but twitch all over, and asked nervously: "What if... what if Mr. Ruan didn't win 20,000?"

"Then you lose." Ruan Chengdong smiled: "As a bet, you have to treat me to dinner."

"Invite you to dinner?" Hu Pingtao frowned, feeling that this bet was unfair to him: "Mr. Ruan, you may have made a mistake. I am not as rich as you think."

He no longer uses honorifics, and his tone has become quite stiff.

Ruan Chengdong smiled and said: "There is an Annan restaurant over on East Street. Don't worry, it's just one meal. The food there is not expensive and you won't be unable to afford it."

Hu Pingtao's face was full of embarrassment. He hesitated for a long time, struggling fiercely in his mind. Apparently he couldn't resist the five thousand yuan draw, and finally nodded slowly.

…

When changing shifts in the evening, Hu Pingtao looked gloomy and left the gaming table without saying a word. He went back to the employee locker room at the back and changed his clothes. At the gate of Yinchi Casino, he met Ruan Chengdong and his bodyguards who were waiting there.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Ruan Chengdong held a cigarette in his hand, teasing with a hint of joking.

Luck cannot always follow someone. He lost more than 10,000 yuan today. Whether intentional or not, Ruan Chengdong felt that he was a winner.

Hu Pingtao's face turned red. The young man couldn't bear the provocation of words. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm willing to admit defeat. I'll take this meal tonight..."

The group soon arrived at the restaurant designated by Ruan Chengdong.

Hu Pingtao made up his mind to order a plate of fried noodles for each person, and that was it.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Chengdong had just chosen a private room, reached for the menu as soon as he sat down, and ordered more than a dozen dishes at once, which made Hu Pingtao's eyes twitch.

He simply stood up, seemingly controlling his anger, and said seriously: "Mr. Ruan, I think you must have made a mistake. I told you that I am a poor man. You ordered so many dishes, and I simply can't afford this meal."

A meal."

Ruan Chengdong looked at him with admiration: "Young man, honesty is a virtue. Haha, don't mind, I just said it casually. I'm inviting you to dinner today, not you."

Hu Pingtao opened his mouth wide with surprise, and asked repeatedly: "...but...you...didn't you say...a bet..."

"That's a joke I made on you." Ruan Chengdong handed the menu to the waiter, leaned back on the sofa, and laughed loudly: "You are my fellow countryman, and this reason alone is enough for me to treat you like this."

It’s time for dinner.”

Hu Pingtao looked grateful, but his heart was full of vigilance.

I have always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Ruan Chengdong, but I didn’t expect him to come to my door on his own initiative?

Could it be that he has exposed some kind of flaw?

Or did the plan change and receive unexpected support from the Siamese and Burmese?

Although it is a coordinated plan among the three countries, the Burmese people...regardless of their work efficiency or their attitude towards drugs, they are always so ambiguous and impossible to guess.

To put it simply, in one sentence - the top brass of Myanmar hate drugs deeply, but for the local leaders of the Myanmar military, drugs are a real cash cow.

Ruan Chengdong took the initiative to invite him to dinner. Could it be an assist from the Siamese?

Hu Pingtao was puzzled. The waiter had already started serving the dishes.

Annan cuisine looks very refreshing, and the cooking methods are also more exquisite. The taste is more sour and spicy, so when cooking, we pay attention to the original flavor of the dishes.

The signature dish of this shop is spring rolls. The waiter brings them either steamed or fried. Steaming is a traditional method: pound the rice into rice paste, pour it with a spoon on a pot with boiling water underneath, and push it with a special wooden pusher.

The rice milk is turned away and supplemented by high-temperature steam. The rice milk is steamed in just a few seconds and turns into a translucent pancake-like solid.

The method of making Southern Yunnan rice noodles is very similar to this. The rice noodles are actually thicker and tougher spring roll wrappers.

Hu Pingtao poured a little fish sauce into his plate and added some salt. He stirred it with chopsticks, put the chopstick head into his mouth, sucked it quickly, and felt that the taste was okay. He picked up a wrap with chopsticks.

Good spring rolls, dipped in fish sauce and eaten with relish.

The spring rolls are filled with chopped shiitake mushrooms, shredded chicken, shredded cucumbers, fungus, and lettuce, mixed together with the unique salty smell of fish sauce, and spread a special sweetness on the tip of the tongue.

.

Hu Pingtao's movements were very rude. Of course, he might be hungry. Before the first spring roll was finished, he couldn't wait to pick up the second spring roll. At the same time, he stretched out his left hand to pick up the fried spring roll from another plate and put it on the plate.

Get on your plate.

The fried spring roll skin is drier and thinner. The fried spring rolls in this store are modified and filled with beef, mixed with finely shredded red and white radish, and a little chopped lard residue and pork.

The skin is tender and crispy, but it is different from the spring roll skin wrapped around it. The inside and outside complement each other and are full of texture.

Looking at Hu Pingtao who was swallowing food, Ruan Chengdong smiled slightly.

In a sense, spring rolls are the national dish of Annan. In recent years, more and more people have accepted and liked it. However, for just one dish, different places have their own specialties in both cooking and eating.

Ruan Chengdong has been observing Hu Pingtao.

In addition to having a dispute with the middle-aged dealer at the casino that day and accidentally saying "Dee baa", he also saw more things from this young man.

The must-have condiment of Annam cuisine is fish sauce. Many people cannot accept fish sauce, and many people love fish sauce to the extreme. There is a saying that goes well: Annam cuisine without fish sauce has no soul.

The same applies to Indian dishes and curries.

Fish sauce itself has a salty taste, and a certain proportion of salt must be added during the production process. The normal way to eat Annam spring rolls is to dip them in fish sauce first, and then use your taste buds to judge whether it is salty or not, and then choose whether to add other condiments.

Hu Pingtao did the opposite and put the step of adding salt first.

Nguyen Thanh Dong is a native of Ly Ran commune, Duy Tien district, Hai Duong province.

Only a truly talented person would do this.

The previous curse word "Dime", coupled with the current way of eating spring rolls, was enough for Ruan Chengdong to confirm that Hu Pingtao was his fellow countryman, and that he was very close to him.

The waiter brought over a plate of sugar cane shrimp.

Hu Pingtao didn't seem to notice, just chewing the spring rolls.

Ruan Chengdong smiled and raised his finger to the shrimp on the plate: "Have some of this, a hometown dish."

Hu Pingtao shook his head without thinking. His mouth was full of food and he said vaguely: "This doesn't taste good...it stinks."

Ruan Chengdong was slightly startled, then leaned back and laughed "haha".

This is a typical Liran answer.

Annan Kingdom has a long coastline, rich in seafood, and a huge amount of fish and shrimp fishing. But Liran is a mountainous area, far away from the sea. In addition, Annan Kingdom has a special terrain, and many places are not accessible by road. Especially in Liran, there is only one way in and out.

The narrow mountain road makes it impossible to talk about commodity trade.

Many years ago, when Ruan Chengdong was still serving in the Annam National Defense Force, Liran was a poor place. People in Liran were no strangers to fish and shrimps. They mostly ate salted fish and dried shrimps, and rarely tasted fresh products.

In recent years, Annan has had a truce with its powerful northern neighbor. The two parties have reached an agreement on social systems and coexisted peacefully. On this basis, Annan has made every effort to launch the domestic tourism market, and the sugarcane shrimp has become increasingly famous among tourists.

In fact, in the eyes of Annan locals, sugarcane shrimp is a typical poor man's dish. When people who went fishing in the past came back, whole big fish and lively prawns could be sold at a good price. However, there will always be food at the bottom of the cabin.

There are some dead fish and shrimps left, so we can only

Dispose of them at the lowest price, so the vendors used their brains to buy back these unwanted leftovers, remove the hard fish bones and shrimp shells, pound the shrimp and fish meat into a paste, and wrap it in
